Paula (Cashes)

These past two days in here was horrible for me. Yesterday the doctor broke the news to me about my baby.

I cried, but god blessed me with one still. I smiled weakly and closed my eyes.

The room was empty. Cassie came by earlier promising to bring Denise, Bria, and Nina. Dewayne was at the cafeteria. Natasha was out doing business. My parents came by earlier, so I'm alone.

I lay there quietly just staring at the ceiling when the kids ran in.

"Mommy!!" They call out with Dewayne behind them with a bottle of water, he sipped it and sat down in the chair next to me.

"Babies!!" I smile cheerfully as Nina hop on my leg.

"Be careful." Dewayne orders to the girls. They nod and look at me excitedly.

"I missed you so much Mommy!! I was crying, and I missed you." Bria repeats.

"It's true," Dewayne chuckles "She wasn't eating, or barely talking to nobody but me."

"It's was sad cause she was sad, and I missed you to." Denise says with a pout. I pinch her cheeks as she giggle. Bria lays on me and close her eyes.

"Guess what lady bug." I whisper to Bria, but loud enough for the other girls to hear. "You too girls." I look to them as they watch me.

"What?" They all say simultaneously.

"You guys are going to have another baby sister or brother." Bria gasp, Denise jumps up excitedly. Nina smiles fall and she frowns all of a sudden.

"It's a baby in there!?" Denise yell pointing at my stomach. "Oh my god oh my god oh my god!" She cheers. Dewayne laughs loudly.

I look to Nina "What's wrong?" She looks away and shake her head. "Just tell me." She shakes her head again.

"Nina it's okay to say how you feel." I say softly looking at her.

"Just say it!" Denise snapped. I looked at Denise as she looked at Nina "say it, don't be a big baby."

"Aye! Apologize!" Dewayne y
Demand.

"Dad-"

"You yelled at her for no reason apologize!"

Nina frowned and stood up. She hopped off my bed and looked at me. "I don't want you to have another baby!" She snapped before storming out.

"Where she get that from?" Dewayne look from me to the door. "She only four years old."

I sigh "That's....that's what's the word mommy?" Bria ask me.

"What word?" I was confused.

"Selfish Bria." Dewayne say.

"Yea that word!" She say smiling. Then she frowns "That's not cool, why she say that."

"No one knows." I shrug "I'll talk to her when I get a chance. Just not now, I don't need any stress." I adjust myself on the bed "is someone out there watching her?"

"Yea Cassie in the waiting room, on the phone." I nod before sitting up. Dewayne stand up and look at the girls.

"I'm going to Subway, this cafeteria food look nasty as shit. Who wanna go?"

"I do!!" Bria yell. Denise shakes her head "I'll stay here with mommy." I smile at her calling me that, finally hearing it from her. I notice a smile forming on Dewayne face but he turned away grabbing Bria hand. "Come on baby girl."
